Does having a B1/B2 help your case for a Schengen visa?
I'm planning on applying for a Schengen visa to travel to Europe for vacation. I was told by this agency that having a B1/B2 USA visa sort of guarantees the issuing of the Schengen visa and that the application procedure is not as strict. I want to know if anyone has any idea how true this is.
I want to know how many documents I have to provide (they give several types of documents that are accepted as proof, etc), if just 1 of each type would suffice, since the agency mentioned that the application procedure is not too strict, etc.
Thanks in advance.
